Through a partnership with Children's Hospital Colorado, Jeffco is proud to offer onsite athletic trainers at 18 high schools across the district to ensure students thrive while playing the sports they love.

The Sports Medicine Center athletic trainers offer care during practices and games for fall, winter and spring sports. Additionally, families can receive valuable insights from the trainers during parent and coaches meetings. These discussions cover a variety of topics, including mental health, nutrition, hydration, concussion management, injury prevention and more.

About the Partnership

Partnering with Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Sports Medicine Center promotes health and wellness across the entire district. At Children’s Colorado, board-certified sports medicine experts only see young athletes. Because the team is specially trained in pediatrics, they understand how an injury may impact growth, or how growth might impact rehabilitation.

The athletic trainers also offer supportive care in areas like sports nutrition and sports psychology. In partnership with other top specialists at Children’s Colorado, they are always developing new programs for sports-related conditions.
